(Confused? According to WordPress.com, the two main units of traffic measurement are views and unique visitors. A view is counted when a visitor loads or reloads a page. A visitor is counted when a user or browser is seen for the first time in a given period (day, week, month).)

The graph shows the site stays stable throughout the year, with a dip in the summer. (I was away from the country for 6 weeks, and we published scheduled posts – great thanks to Mike and Allison for maintaining the site.)

(Note: A view is only counted for a post or page when the permalink URL is visited, or the full post is viewed. On the other hand, if a visitor reads a post titled “Hello World” while viewing the home page of the blog, the view will not be counted towards the post, only towards total views.)

There are also some trivial info. This chart shows the time of day and day of the week this site gets the most views. Tuesday at 9pm. Why? I have absolutely no idea.

Hi,
An excellent online magazine with far more than just local interest. Interesting about Tuesday at 9.00pm being peak viewing! I wonder what we’re doing at that time the rest of the week?
All the best for the New Year to everyone.

I’ve just checked WordPress forums, and found an answer about a country called “European Union” in my stats.

WordPress explained that “This just means that our geolocation service believes the user is in the European Union, but they can’t pinpoint exactly what country. Not trying to intentionally hide any countries on your stats page!”
